How do you go about raising capital?
How to raise capital 101.
OK folks - this is more than a 1 paragraph answer. In fact, so many people come to us with this question that we actually wrote a book called: How To Raise Your First Million Dollars. This is a comprehensive introduction to raising capital. It goes over terms you may have heard like: Valuation & Due Diligence. It also very clearly lists what an investor wants and expects when making an investment. The book interviews 10 Angel Investor groups across the nation. They explain exactly what they look for, how much money they invest, and the best way to reach them. It also contains a directory of 50 of the most active Angel Groups in America.
The book is $25 and the best money you can spend if you are thinking about raising your first round of capital for your company. Sorry for the shameless plug, but the book is really good!
